Combining
synchronization
and
frequency
modulaton
allows
for
the
creation
of
whole
new
sound
spectra.
Its
sound
is
more
predictable
than
FM
alone,
as
there
is
no
chance
of
the
fundamental
of
the
modulating
oscillators
drifting
away
when
increasing
or
decreasing
the
modulation
index.
As
a
result,
the
output
sounds
are
less
likely
to
become
inharmonic.
Conversely,
the
synchronization
itself
distorts
the
waveform
of
the
slave
VCO,
thus
adding
harmonics
to
the
sound.
The
Z3000
offers
traditional
hard
sync
along
a
new
type
of
sync
called
Hard
Sync
Modulation
(HSM).
While
traditional
hard
sync
will
only
work
with
pulse
or
sawtooth
waves,
with
similar
effect,
the
HSM
accepts
any
waveform,
even
complete
sounds,
which
will
modulate,
distort
and
rectify
the
waveform.
Hard
Sync
Modulation
is
a
powerful
waveform
distortion
effect
built
into
the
Z3000,
and
can
be
used
in
any
patch.
